After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

Then Leng Qing spoke up.

"broken!"

Centered on the cracks in the area of ​​the unyielding soil that Leng Qing hit, large cracks spread outwards. However, after spreading for about half a meter, the power of the Word Spirit was exhausted by the stability of the unyielding soil itself. The unyielding soil stopped cracking and even repaired itself inwards, with the cracks beginning to close.

Cold sweat beaded on Leng Qing's forehead.

A complete and utter level crushing defeat.

Leng Qing used to rely on the power of words. Even though he couldn't fight against a truly top-tier demigod awakener like the Long-Armed Ape, the effect of the power of words was still very real. He could make people faint or roll away at will.

However, with Jiu Feng, once Jiu Feng's divine power was unleashed, Leng Qing's words of power could only interfere to a certain extent and could not produce a decisive effect. Therefore, Leng Qing had no choice but to abandon the words of power and charge out directly with his physical body, hoping to fight a close battle to see who could win.

Even if we can't win, we can at least maintain appearances.

As for the weakness Zhou Yan gave Jiu Feng—the "Illusory Heart Sutra"—she had only studied it for one night. How could she possibly have a sudden enlightenment overnight and be able to use it the next day?

Hiding behind the Unchanging Soil, Jiufeng coldly stared at Leng Qing through the soil.

She's in a very bad mood right now, extremely bad.

So Jiufeng Chu Daoyun raised her hand and shook it.

Two walls of unyielding earth suddenly appeared beside Leng Qing, opposite him, pressing down on him simultaneously.

Leng Qing called out.

"urgent!"

Leng Qing transformed into a streak of light and flew out from the encirclement of the two unyielding earthen walls.

Leng Qing's strongest incantation was indeed ineffective against Jiu Feng, but it could work on herself. This was why Leng Qing was willing to confront Jiu Feng head-on. By waiting until she was in front of Jiu Feng, Leng Qing could add a few "Power," "Fierce," and "Speed" incantations to herself, which would boost her attributes several times over in a short period of time.

"Humph."

A whooshing sound arose around Jiufeng Chu Daoyun, and she flew up from the ground to a height of ten meters in the air.

At this distance of ten meters, Jiu Feng slightly turned her head to look at Zhou Yan again.

Zhou Yan and Lin Anru were already leaning close together, with Lin Anru even having one hand on Zhou Yan's shoulder, looking very intimate. Zhou Yan was pointing and gesturing at Leng Qing, who was running away.

"I told you, Senior Leng Qing can't beat Chu Daoyun. She can't learn anything in one night."

Lin An sighed.

"This Chu Daoyun is too strong."

Zhou Yan took out a bag of instant noodles from somewhere, crushed it, tore it open, ate half of it, and then gave the other half to Lin Anru. While Lin Anru was eating, Zhou Yan mumbled something.

"It's okay, we'll wait for the next four-school competition."

Lin'an made a mumbled "uh-huh" sound.

A "╬" appeared on Chu Daoyun's forehead during the match.

What exactly is the relationship between this woman and Zhou Yan?

How could this be? Why is it possible?!

so!

close!

Despite her anger, Chu Daoyun opened her arms, and in an instant, the entire arena floor turned black as an unyielding soil covered the ground appeared. This unyielding soil, centered on Leng Qing, began to clench around the ant in the palm of her hand.

Leng Qing shouted.

"fly!"

Two wings formed by the character "飞" (fly) appeared behind Leng Qing. The wings flapped rapidly, and Leng Qing took off into the air.

But then, an overwhelming shadow fell over everyone.

A massive amount of unyielding soil, covering more than a square kilometer and encircling the entire Wu Family Martial Arts Academy, appeared above Jiu Feng's head. Jiu Feng pointed downwards, and the unyielding soil pressed down in the direction where Leng Qing was.

Apart from Zhou Yan and Lin Anru, the students from Zhuque Academy and Baihu Academy all stood up, looking at Leng Qing in the arena with solemn expressions.

At this moment, Leng Qing was like a fly caught between two human hands, desperately trying to escape. But the two hands (the Unchanging Soil) closed even faster. Before Leng Qing could fly away, the two Unchanging Soil walls grasped each other and merged.

During the fusion, Leng Qing faintly shouted words like "shatter" and "open," but it had little impact.

This unyielding soil eventually formed a sphere with a diameter of twenty meters, suspended in mid-air.

Nine Phoenixes flew to the top of the black, unyielding earthen ball, landed, and touched the ground with both feet.

Then he looked at the students of Suzaku Academy.

In the corner, Zhou Yan and Lin Anru had already stood up. The two of them left the competition venue with their backs to Jiu Feng. The other students from Zhuque Academy looked ashen-faced. Lin Lei, who was already short-tempered, simply stood up, his hands clenched tightly on his trouser legs, and his teeth clenched.

Jiu Feng remained silent, but the students of White Tiger Academy began to curse.

"Give up!"

"Hahaha, I knew our Boss Chu was the strongest."

"From now on, remember to avoid students from our White Tiger Academy!"

"Hey, where's Zhou Yan? Why are you running away! We'll have a fight later!"

The students of Suzaku Academy looked at each other, and finally Lin Ming, the oldest of the students and of the Huodou bloodline, spoke up.

"Miss Chu, we admit defeat. Please put Leng Qing down."

The unyielding earthen ball beneath Chu Daoyun's feet landed and then shattered. In the center of the earthen ball, Leng Qing, whose clothes were disheveled but who was unharmed, appeared.

Leng Qing raised her head slightly and glanced at Chu Daoyun, who was flying in mid-air with an uncertain expression.

"You win."

Leng Qing returned to her classmates with a gloomy expression, and the group left the competition venue together.

Chu Daoyun slowly descended, her feet touching the ground.

The students from White Tiger Academy exchanged glances. Lu Zhi gave Ling Wuming a look, and Ling Wuming nervously licked his lips before flipping over the audience seats.

Ling Wuming approached Chu Daoyun cautiously, his face full of ingratiating intent.

Chu Daoyun turned her head slightly and looked at Ling Wuming.

Ling Wuming chuckled awkwardly.

"Um, Senior Chu, I have something I'd like to ask you for a favor."

Chu Daoyun suppressed her displeasure at Zhou Yan's intimacy with other women and said coldly.

"what's up?"

"Um, could you give Nan Batian a blessing?"

A picture of a grinning man appeared in Chu Daoyun's mind. Chu Daoyun knew of Nan Batian, but she had never spoken more than three sentences to him in her life, so her impression of him could be summed up in two words: "unfamiliar".

Chu Daoyun became curious.

"What does he need blessings for? To compete with the students of Suzaku Academy?"

Chu Daoyun's auspicious beast form is for training, and her blessing is for fighting.

Ling Wuming's expression turned cold.

"Senior Chu, do you know Wu Shanfu?"

Chu Daoyun nodded. She had heard of Wu Shanfu; she was a top student at her school, but she had never met her.

"Wu Shanfu seems to have fallen for a man from the Vermilion Bird Academy."

Ling Wuming looked disgusted.

"Wu Shanfu is one of the few top students in our school, and now she's been snatched away by that stinky guy from Zhuque Academy. Nan Batian wants to fight that stinky guy. Once he wins, Wu Shanfu should realize that that stinky guy is not good enough for him at all."

"The Eight Trigrams are so powerful!" Chu Daoyun exclaimed, her spirits lifted.

Who is this man?

Ling Wuming gritted his teeth.

"His name is Zhou Yan! He's the one from Suzaku Academy who looks the thinnest."

Chu Daoyun: "..."

"Huh?"

Ling Wuming suddenly noticed that Chu Daoyun's expression had become much more unpleasant.

She must be angry because her good student was kidnapped by a man from Suzaku Academy... right?

Chu Daoyun turned her head and looked at Nan Batian in the distance. Nan Batian, who had been acting wickedly in front of Zhou Yan, was now smiling innocently at Chu Daoyun, looking like an honest and harmless rare good man.

Chu Daoyun asked in a deep voice.

"Does Wu Shanfu like Zhou Yan?"

Ling Wuming lowered his head and said.

"Ah, Wu Shanfu told me that her ideal type is someone like Zhou Yan, but Zhou Yan might not be interested in her, so she hasn't confessed yet."

Wu Shanfu liked Zhou Yan quite a bit, but Zhou Yan was capable of killing his own children and wife for the sake of swordsmanship, and he also kept pets on a daily basis. He would then kill those who were pure and inhumane in the pursuit of swordsmanship (Wu Shanfu imagined this).

Wu Shanfu only dared to dream of dating Zhou Yan. As for actually dating him, she felt that she hadn't reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship yet, so she shouldn't be courting death.

Chu Daoyun's lips moved, and Ling Wuming waited anxiously for Chu Daoyun's reply.

After a few seconds, Chu Daoyun nodded.

"Call Nan Batian over, I'll personally give him my blessings."

Chu Daoyun had thought it through. She would give Nan Batian an unprecedentedly powerful blessing, so that Nan Batian could defeat Zhou Yan. Then Wu Shanfu would stop liking Zhou Yan, and the girl who was with Zhou Yan would probably also complain that Zhou Yan was too weak.

The students of Suzaku Academy will probably complain that Zhou Yan lost and embarrassed them.

Although it's embarrassing to say this, the top students of Vermilion Bird Academy are slightly better than those of White Tiger Academy. If it weren't for the presence of the true god Chu Daoyun, the entire White Tiger Academy would probably have suffered a humiliating defeat at Leng Qing's hands this year.

Therefore, when Zhou Yan was almost deserted by everyone, he appeared in front of Zhou Yan, gave him his blessings, and helped him become stronger.

At that time...

Ling Wuming returned to the audience seats and walked over with Nan Batian, who looked completely incredulous.

When she reached ten meters away, Chu Daoyun began to feel nauseous. When she reached five meters away, she developed goosebumps all over her body.

"enough!"

When Nan Batian was three meters in front of Chu Daoyun, even though she had prepared herself mentally, Chu Daoyun still couldn't help but shout out.

She's starting to have stomach aches and cold sweats now.

Ling Wuming stopped three meters away from Nan Batian.

Chu Daoyun took a few deep breaths, forcibly dispelling the disgust in her heart, and then spoke.

"Nan Batian, kneel down."

Without saying a word, Nan Batian knelt down and looked sincerely at Chu Daoyun.

Chu Daoyun clasped her hands together in front of her, and then a phantom image of a phoenix head radiating auspicious light appeared behind her. This phantom image emerged from behind Chu Daoyun, and its sharp beak, radiating seven-colored auspicious light, touched Nan Batian's forehead.

Nan Batian suddenly felt that the whole world had become clear and bright, and before his eyes was a magnificent and endless seven-colored auspicious light.

As the auspicious light faded, Nan Batian saw the severely damaged arena that had been battled between Leng Qing and Jiu Feng Chu Daoyun. However, Chu Daoyun was no longer there, but the other students were still there.

Lu Zhi, of the Fei Niu bloodline, looked with delight at the auspicious light between Nan Batian's eyebrows and asked curiously.

"Xiao Tian, ​​how are you feeling?"

Nan Batian stood up, and as soon as he did, he felt an immense surge of power coursing through his body. His mind was clearer than ever before, and his entire being was overflowing with vitality.

In short, he's in better shape than ever before.

Nan Batian laughed heartily.

"Alright, I'm going to go beat that bastard surnamed Zhou up right now, and I'll make sure he loses face in front of everyone!"

Nan Batian made a move to leave.

Another top student suddenly spoke up.

"Wait a minute, although Nan Batian, you have received Boss Chu's blessing, Zhou Yan is a swordsmanship master who can amaze even Wu Shanfu. Are you just going to go over there like this without any preparation?"

Nan Batian stopped, his face full of deep thought. Nan Batian was actually the type whose body was faster than his mind. He would usually act rashly when faced with a problem, and would only think when he was too busy. But now, with Chu Daoyun's blessing, Nan Batian had statuses such as "quick-witted" and "divine assistance" in his status bar, which gave him an intelligence that he had never had before.
